Fedora 43 Steam Games Unable to Launch

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 9 Stunden 53 Minuten

I am running an Asus Vivobook GO 14/15 with a Ryzen 3 7320U integrated graphics and recently installed Fedora 43 KDE Plasma onto it. I installed an RPM version of Steam and installed all the required drivers but when I try to boot games like Project Zomboid, it just instantly crashes and nothing opens. I tried to downgrade my mesa drivers but even then it still doesn’t work. Does anyone have a fix for this?

Recently sold all of my Xbox gear and needed a controller

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 10 Stunden 21 Minuten

I finally kicked my xboxes to the curb after gaming strictly on Linux for the past 2 years. Unfortunately I had to give up my controllers in order to get a mildly respectable cash payout for each console.

I did some testing and went through the return process a few times until I settled on the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded. Got it at Best Buy for about $210.

Linux mint seemed to have all of the drivers loaded already so the 2.4 GHz controller dongle worked right out of the box.

Anyway, hoping this helps somebody make a decision because I was completely stuck reading boxes, reviews, and in the return process until I settled on this beast.

Does anyone know how to play HoMM4 with the HD mod by Verok on Linux?

I have not been able to make the mod work on Linux. The base game works just fine but it's lowkey unplayable without the HD mod.

Steam opens up multiple Chrome-like windows

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 10 Stunden 39 Minuten

So I just opened my Steam application on the desktop and it opened multiple Chrome-like windows. I've never installed Chrome on my PC. I just closed Steam and rebooted the system. I found one post on Reddit with the same issue. The windows kept spamming until I rebooted the system. Is it some bug that happened that is related to the fact that Steam uses Chromium? Or is there a virus on my PC? Basically, all I want to know is whether I'm safe or not.

Simply can't install Zenless Zone Zero

Reddit Linux_Gaming - vor 11 Stunden 20 Minuten

Okay, I give up. For the love of God, could someone help me download Zenless Zone Zero on my Pop!_OS?
I’ve already tried everything—Lutris, Heroic. I downloaded the various versions of Proton and Wine through ProtonPlus. I’ve encountered so many different errors that I don’t even know which one to describe. So I’d like to ask, if anyone has a step‑by‑step guide on how to get this working, please share it here.

The closest I got was using Heroic, but it seems the Hoyo anti‑cheat breaks the game before it even starts.

I had to rely on ChatGPT for most of the process because all the tutorials I found gave some error that I have no idea how to fix.
I’m new to Linux now, and I’m willing to put in the effort to get the system working properly.

Trying to make my game full screen in RuneScape. The game shows it's full screen but the taskbar remains visible. How can I get it to hide it?

Using the Windows version with Proton, as it seems Jagex has discontinued maintaining the native Linux binary

Is there still about a 20% FPS loss compared to Windows?

Fanatec CSR on Bazzite (Sim Racing)

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. November 2025 - 23:37

Hi all, I am setting up Bazzite on my desktop and it's great so far but I want to run my Fanatec CSR and I'm not sure how to go about making it work on BeamNG and Assetto Corsa.

I'm installing the Fanatec Linux drivers here: https://github.com/gotzl/hid-fanatecff

I'm stuck on the install portion, basically I'm getting this message during "make"

Skipping BTF generation for hid-fanatec.ko due to unavailability of vmlinux

This presents a problem when I try to make install because I get this issue:

'hid-fanatec.ko' -> '/lib/modules/6.17.7-ba19.fc43.x86_64/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-fanatec.ko'

cp: cannot create regular file '/lib/modules/6.17.7-ba19.fc43.x86_64/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-fanatec.ko': Read-only file system

I believe I need to find a way to install the .ko file but I haven't had any luck yet

help to choose my distro

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. November 2025 - 21:31

I have a PC as bad as a potato to the point that I can't play Valorant above 70fps.

I would like to find a Linux distro that would allow me to gain performance, customization (for ricing), and speed, all while taking up little space, because I plan to do a dual-boot setup. (I'm new to Linux; I would prefer a distro that isn't too complicated, even though I know that with all my criteria, this is going to be difficult.

Thank you for reading me and sorry for mistake I use Google translate to do this

GOG version of Dragon's Lair not launching

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. November 2025 - 21:27

I just purchases Dragon's Lair Trilogy on GOG, and I can't seem to get the game working at all. I've switched from various versions of proton-ge, to regular non ge versions of proton. I've even tried the system version of wine, the game just never opens. No window or anything. Currently on Debian 13. I know the steam version has a linux build, would I just have to buy that?

A little help deciding Distro

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 30. November 2025 - 21:08

I'd like some help from those more accustomed to Linux.

A month ago, I decided to try Linux. I installed CachyOS, and while I've had some minor issues, I've generally been able to fix them, either by searching online or simply requesting the necessary code from Gemini.

However, something I haven't been able to fix is ​​the download speed. As for games, I've been able to install most Steam games without problems; Elden Ring runs even with anti-cheat software. Monster Hunter, Dark Souls, all perfect. And I'm not so attached to Riot that I'd switch to Windows just to play TFT or League of Legends.

But the internet speed problem continues to bother me. Outside of Steam, Genshin Impact took me four days to download because it's so slow, and I try it with a PC with windows on the same internet and download faster. I tried to fix it, and I'm not sure if I even made it worse.

In any case, I've been thinking that instead of 'going back to Windows,' I should try a different Linux distribution.

Which distro would you recommend that won't cause problems with games, that let me play the games without much trouble and will also prevent me from accidentally messing up the system myself?

I'm asking this because before CachyOS I tried Ubuntu, and although I was able to install my games, they constantly froze or crashed whenever I tried to play music on YouTube while playing. At least with CachyOS I didn't have that problem.
